Selenium

SELENIUM (200-250MCG) per day with morning or noon meal

Due to destructive farming practices, overuse of pesticides and not letting the soil rest, over two thirds of the world's soil is selenium deficient and not fit for growing crops. Selenium is a vital and necessary mineral and is almost totally devoid from the human diet because of modern farming methods.

Selenium should be taken daily along with Zinc which greatly increases the effectives and immune boosting capabilities of both. 2-3 Brazil nuts contain approx 200mcg of selenium, so this is an excellent natural whole food source of selenium along with yeast, whole grains, and seafood.
